Temporary Offices--15, George-street, Mansion-house, E.C. This Company has been formed for the purpose of estab lishing a Foreign Hotel on the site of the present Sablo n ere Hotel, and with this view, to purchase the lease, business, stock. goodwill, and freehold of the present Sablo niere Hotel, N. 28, 29, 30, and 31, Leicester square, together with certain freehold property adjoining thereto, to reconstruct the Hotel on the most improved models, and to provide suitable accommodation specially for the numer ous foreigners who visit or reside in London. The Sabloniere Hotel, established in 1784, is known in all parts of-the world ; its accommodation, however, is not commensurate with its connection; with a suitable build ing and modern appliances the business of the New Hotel need only be limited by the extent of its accommodation. The Csmpany will not risk its capital in a new and doubt ful enterprise, but will improve and extend an old esta blished business. The New Hotel will be built and organised on the con tinental system ; adapting itself, however, to the tastes and wants of English and Colonial Travellers. It will con tain a spacious table d'hote, to dine from two to three hun dred persons, a large Coffee Room or Restaurant a la Cart also a Cate, several suites of apartments, 200 bedrooms, and every improvement required in a first class Hotel; the foreign guest will here find his own language, cuisine, amusemente, and the Hotel will provide for him all the advantages and comforts of a home. The scale of prices in a foreign hote', with every due regard to reasonable profit, can be kept lower than in hotels on the English system; this, with the knowlege tbet their habits and wants are understood and considered, will always oraw foreigners to this Hotel in preference to any other; whilst the travelled Englishman will here find the comfort and luxury which attract him to the Continent. The central position of the new Sabloniere Hotel, a short distance from the Charing-cross Station (Whit& is destined to become the London Terminus of the principal Continen tal Railways) is unequalled in London as a site for a Fo reign Hotel ; it is sufficiently near for convenience, but not close enough to be subjected to the noise and confusion of a position contiguous to a large railway station. As an investment the Sabloniere Foreign Hotel Company will offer every security in the shape of freehold land, buildings, furniture, &c„ and, front the facilities it will possess fur doing a large business, it may be anticipated that at least 15 per cent. profit will be realised on the capital. The reports of the Louvre and the Grand Hotel in Paris show a much larger profit, which result has been obtained notwithstanding the costly character of the building and the very high price paid for land.; tThe rapid increase its the value of property in the neighbourhood of Charing-cross, et ill, at no distant time, double the value of the freehold of the Company, and thus the permanent value of the Com pany's estate will be guaranteed against any unforeseen contingencies. The Company have secured, for a period, the services, as manager, of the late proprietor, who, to show his great confidence in the undertaking, has arranged to take the larger portion of the purchase money in Shares. The transfer of the trade will thus be effected without danger of its being diverted into other channels. His 25 years experience in the business will secure for the undertaking economy in its management, judgment in furnishing and fitting up the Hotel, and in the selection of the stock. The business will be carried on in part of the Hotel, whilst the other is being rebuilt, so that profits will accrue at once. No costly experiments will be made or money wasted in useless exterior decorations ; but in all interior fittings the tastes and comfort of the pub lic will be carefully considered. The following facts are suggested for the consideration of capitalists :- 1. That this Company is formed on a bona file basis to take a freehold property and a highly successful established business, which is purchased at a valuation. 2. That it is a specialit 6, inasmuch as no other Company has been established to build and conduct a foreign hotel specially adapted to foreigners on a scale of moderate charges. 3. That the great and increasing number of foreign tra sellers in London is calculated to promote the financial suc cess of the Company beyond that of any other hotel com pany existing. 4. That the site of the property, within three minutes of the Charing-cross Railway Station, is specially adapted fur its purposes. 5. That the freehold, buildings, plate, furniture, stock in trade, &c., will give ample security for the capital tevested. Interest upon the amount paid up at 5 per cent. par annum will be allowed from the date of payment until the completion of the new Hotel, and in the event of no allot ment being made, the deposits will be returned in full. A Copy of the Articles of Association may be inspected at the Offices of the Company. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained of the Brokers, Solicitors', or Secretary.

AN ADVENTURE ON THE HUMBER.—One of those " Hair-breadth 'Scapes." said by Shakspere to ap pertain unto " field and flood," occurred on the Humber yesterday. As the New Holland Railway Company's steamer was crossing from New Holland to Hull, at 5,30 in the afternoon, the passengers on board were suddenly surprised to see the captain -rash up the bridge, com municate with the engineer, and give harried orders to the man at the wheel. The engines were at once re versed, and, in mid-stream, the vessel was brought to, and remained as motionless as the wind and tide—both of which were strong—would permit. It was soon discovered that about a furlong ahead of the steamer was fluttering, a mere spec in the distance, a signal of distress, in the shape of a white handkerchief attached to a walking stick, and held aloft by some one in a small boat. Directly the packet got up to this singular object, all passengers rushed eagerly to the side to get a glimpse of it. There were two young gentlemen, shivering with cold, and splashed and bespattered with water and mud, in a small frail beat, and they had neither oars;nor sails,nor any means of steering their little craft. A rope was thrown them, and they were soon re leased from their perilous position. When on board, the young fellows were plentifully " chaffed" as to their nautical adventure, one burly passenger of the fore-cabin, with a third-class ticket, and a regard for " naught or nobody" in phrticular, drily asking, " Heaw lung h'd bin out ? Any provisions left ?" The young men then told the cause of their predicament. They said they had walked along from Hull to Faull, and there carelessly stepped into a little boat which lay by the river's bank. Some fellows passing gave it a push into the stream, and away it went up the river without oars or any means of steering. They have determined to take proceedings against the man who thus so heartlessly treated them to a practical joke that might have ended as many jokes have, fatally.--Easterti Morn ing iVews.

THE COAL EXPOUTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. —The coal exports from the various ports of the u n ited Kingdom during the month of February amounted to 576,933 tons, an increase of 90,320 tons compared with February, 1863. The total exp orts during January and ebruary, 1364, were 1,107,637 tons, an increase of 227,643 tons as co:npared with January and February, 1863. Daring February, 1831, the total imports of sea -b orne coal into London were 228,233 tons, a decrease of 37,646 tons as compared with February, 1863. From the Ist January to the 28th February, 1864, there were 1,538 ships containing 676,880 tons coal, being a decrease of 201 ships and 22,468 to of coal as compared with the first two months of 1663. ley r a il wa y s an d canals the imports were 132,354, b e i ng increase over 1863 of 92,313 tons.

' 2h. 33m, . e Snit LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1864, The opening of the spring . assiais has again brought before the public the horrible case of ill treatment of a lunatic which some time ago excited so much astonishment and disgust. The evidence brought forward in substantiation of the oharge in no degree mitigates the matter, since the particulars given by the witnesses for the prosecution more than confirmed the worst of the reports which have been current on the subject. The miserable man has, it seems, been insane or idiotic for more than thirty years, having become mentally effl'eted when he was about twenty years old, and having dragged on a wretched existence until he is now fifty-five. In what manner he has passed the years in which he has been under his brother's care may be better imagined than described. At first his father, it appears, took charge of him, and after his death he was left in the hands of his sister, who went to America in 1853, at which epoch he passed into his brother's keeping. At first he was confined in a room adjoining a house in which he then lived, but in the early part of the year 1863 he was removed by night in a wheelbarrow to a new house which the brother had built, and in a small outer room the miserable creature was confined. His prison was twelve feet long by nine feet wide, and eight feet high, without fireplace or stove. Ia this little den he remained crouched and crippled iu the depths of filth and wretchedness, in a state which would hardly appear to be possible to a creature bearing the name of humanity. The room, accord ing to the defendant's communication to the Lunacy Commissioner, was constructed on purpose for the lunatic, and it is a noticeable part of this story of cruelty and ignorance that the perpetrator of the evil should be a man of some wealth and position. Whether he was conscious of the full extent of the atrocity of his actions is uncertain ; the jury gave him the benefit of the doubt, but it is evident that he preserved a degree of mystery regarding his un fortunate prisoner which goes far to prove him wilfully guilty. No one had ever csught a glimpse of the unhappy lunatic since he was under his brother's charge save one woman, who accidentally came upon him, and was horrorstricken at the sight of his dirt and nakedness. After a good deal of evidence in favour of the prisoner, which, however, did not affect the startlingdisolosures of Dr. BYRNE and the Lunacy Commissioners, a legal point was brought forward on behalf of the culprit. A doubt was raised as to the extent to which he was amen able to the statute, since it was designed for keepers of asylums, and a man who neglected the charge of his lunatic wife had previously been acquitted on this ground. Mr. Baron MARTIN said he would obtain the opinion of the Court of Crown Cases Re served on this point, and consequently postponed his sentence unt:l he had learned it. The jury re turned a verdict of guilty of neglect, but said they , did not think the defendant was aware of the law, and therefore recommended him to mercy. We cannot but regard this PS a most extraordinary and uncalled for renornmetdation, since, whatever his ignorance of the exact terms of the law, he hod been guilty of prolonged and deliberate cruelty which unquestionably deprives him of all claim on our indulgence or sympathy. It is difficult to be lieve that a man in his position was so obtuse of ; sense and feeling as to ha unaware of the suffering ite 'was inflictiag. iI strict con.;: , ,4lmAt of the THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 22, 1864. lunatic would seem to indicate his knowledge of the true state of the case. Ualess he is to be regarded as of: the same mental calibre as his wretched charge, he •cannot be acquitted of having deliberately and con tinuously exhibited some of the worst qualities of cur nature, and it is difficult to see for which of there rests his claim to mercy. Such a plea might well be urged for many unfortunate young crimi nals who have no counsel to plead for them at the bar of justice, but for SAMUEL PORTER has no claim, The legal difficulty placed in the way of his punishment is equally unreasonable and flimsy. Such an excuse should not for a moment be tole rated, and if our laws are not stringent or compre h ensiva enough of the point, the sooner they are amended the better. It cannot be tolerated that persons should take upon themselves the charge of their afflicted relatives, and keep their very exis tence a hushed up secret from their neighbours, only to torture and ill-treat them, and then escape the consequences of their criminal actions by the plea of its being a domestic and disinterested charge• If such excuses are to be admitted, it is difficult to measure the extent to which the evil may spread ; it is impossible to foretel the evil purposes to which such latitude may be turned. We cannot but hope that no such defence will b 3 admitted, but that those who undertake such a charge will be held strictly responsible for its proper fulfilment, and chat the culprits of Flushing will be taught in an emphatic and convincing manner that, however long or securely a man's evil deeds may be hidden, they will at last be dragged to light, when he shall reap their due reward. His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES hes certainly set an example to all exclusive Sovereigns and affected potentates. He is constantly to be seen, and his doings are perpetually chronicled as mingling with the world, and taking an active part in the business of life by mixing in its pleasures and excitements. On Saturday his Royal High ness honoured the Oxford and Cambridge boat race . by his presence. An additional interest was im parted to the proceedings by the thought that the Prince was intimately acquainted with the details of the exciting sport before him, and had for some time resided at both the Universities which that day sent their representatives to compete for the prize. This was the first time that royalty had been present at an entertainment of this kind, and the favour was rendered more gracious by the circumstance that his Royal Highness did not go in an exclusive form, but went on board the vessel chartered by the Thames Subscription Club. The days of the extreme exclusiveness of an earlier generation have long since departed, and the forms and customs which our forefathers adhered to with a cherished reverence have happily been merged into a more genial and hearty style of manners. Yet there remains much to be done, and it augurs well for the improvement of the present and future state of society in this respect, that the one who is to lead the fashion, to set the style, and to inaugu rate the spirit of the day, is so free from all absurd affectation and so devoid of that haughtiness which often mars the possession of estimable qualities. In the happy demonstration of these qualities, it is easy to trace the effects of the excellent manner in which the Prince spent his early years. Never, perhaps, in the annals of royalty has so extended a sphere been embraced and so efficacious a training bestowed on the heir of monarchs. A knowledge of the world can only be gained in the world ; it cannot be taught at school or imparted in 'conversa tion. Travel, experience, and personal intercourse with society can alone impart it. It must be a source of great satisfaction to all who reflect upon the subject, that our future King can thus interest and amuse himself in the excitements and recrea tions of the people over whom ho is one day to reign. A healthy and hearty taste for exhilirating sports and manly exercises is no bad preparation for more serious engagements' hereafter, while a genial mid gracious manner is at all times a benefit and blessing alike to him who gives and him who receives favours. One of the distinctive features of advanced civili sation is always the greater regard paid to human life. Among savage races death and suffering count for nothing, and when we reach the semi-civilisa tion of countries like China and Japan, we still find the lives of two or three hundred human beings reckoned as of little or no value. As nations rise higher in the scale their progress is marked by the increasing importance of such considerations. The harsh and sanguinary laws which disfigure ancient statute books are gradually repealed, until the Draconian theory is reversed, and the destruction of a single individual existence is held to be almost too sacred to be sacrificed in expiation of the worst of crimes. Still, with ail its legal care and the moral importance which it attaches to human life, there are many Wass, direct and indirect, in which civilisation exacts its forfeiture, ways unknown to a less highly cultivated state. The requirements of trade annually make a terrible demand upon the bone and muscle of our working population, and some occupations are so notoriously unhealthy that the average term of life among their followers is re duced to half man's alloted age. Others again are the victims of the heedlessness of fashion or the cupidity of their employers, and a melancholy instance of this kind is still fresh in the public recollection. Setting aside these ordinary and constant causes of death and disease, however, the advancing know ledge and enterprising ambition of the present day is prolific in disaster. It is not fair to count the catastrophes of the mines among these, since coals have been in use for many a long day, and the pro cess of obtaining them has some perhaps inevitable dangers, but it is certainly high time that some thing should be done to reduce the number of men who are daily falling victims to want of care or common prudence on the part of their employers. The catastrophe which has desolated a whole district may be said to have been artificially produced, but every day shows us small and comparatively insig nificant catastrophes which carry desolation and mourning into many a humble home, which lay the strong man down in the dust, and turn youth and vigour into sickness and decrepitude. The large number of deaths occasioned by the bursting of boilers may certainly be ranked under the head of preventible disasters, and the general reflection, after reading the evidence adduced at the inquest, is that the folly, ignorance, or recklessness exhibited in connection with such accidents are simply marvel lous, The last few weeks have been rife with such catastrophes which are of only too common occur rence. The folly and wickedness of risking men's lives by leaving the management of such establishments in unskilful or incompetent hands', has lately received several painful illustrations in the numerous accidents which have come to light. Juries are beginning to be sensible that a remedy for this evil must be found, and took occasion the other day to append to their verdict, in a case of this sort, a recommen dation that Government inspectors should be ap pointed to visit all factories where steam power is employed. They also made a good suggestion to the effect that all boilers should, in making, have stamped upon them the extent or their power. The reason for this was the fact that the boiler intended fos'r a tin-bursa pow . e't engine bad had PresbUro put upon it to the extent of 381bs. to the square inch. The result of this immense strain upon a cheap, ill-made, and clumsily finished boiler, ot which one part was old and the other new, was shown in the catastrophe of Spitalfields. The owner of the boiler, who professed an extraordinary amount O i t ignorance for a man who was constantly employing their assistance, confessed to having never asked what pressure it would bear! All that he thought necessary was that it should be good, and by good ness he appears to - have meant illimitable strength, since this one small and ill-finished boiler was called upon to supply steam power for some saw mills, , six lathes, and one steam bench, and the machinery of a bone cutter. The verdict of the jury would certainly, if carried into effect, provide effectual remedies for such a case, since, had the boiler been stamped with the extent of its power, the owner could not have professed ignorance, while a Government inspector would most certainly not have allowed such a multifarious applica- tion of its very limited powers. It is probable that Parliamentary interference will be necessary, as in the case of the machinery of fac tories, and many other similar instances where it has been found imperative to protect life by legis lative enactment. By a recent and very wise mea sure our chain Gables and anchors are to be hence• forth submitted to a severe and searching test be fore use. Why should not steam boilers undergo a similar ordeal before they are brought into service? The risk is certainly not less in the latter case, as death and destruction in its most fearful form is often dealt mad a large mass of persons; and in the case of such an accident occurring within the walls of a deteely peopled factory the consequences would be frightful in their extent. So ,largely is steam power now employed in the ordinary pur poses of our trade and manufactures, and so great are its dangers under incompetent or negligent ma nagement, that it is absolutely necessary that some steps should be taken to secure the public against this great and growing evil. Let, then, the Legisla- cure come forward to the rescue, let the testing o: steam boilers be made compulsory, let the extent o: heir power be duly registered, and let qualified inspectors be appointed to see these regulations pro perly carried into eact. So shall we hear less of these terrible catastrophes, and one of man's most wonderful discoveries be preserved as an unqualified blessing instead of a curse; for the homely old adage, which tells us that fire is " a good servant but a bad master," is equally and emphatically true of the mighty agency of steam. The improved dwellings for the industrial classes is a subject that is most worthy of attention, and it is therefore interesting to observe that the asso ciation formed for the purpose is being carried on steadily, and does not relax in its efforts. Lard STANLEY presided at its meeting on Saturday, and in his address he set forward some of the most notable particulars connected with the affair. Whatever is taken up by his lordship is sure to be carefully attended to, and the most minute details thoroughly investi e ated. It appears that great difficulty has existed in finding sites ; but by this time the evil has been partially obviated, and some eligible localities have been fixed upon. This is satisfactory intelligence, as in process of time there is no doubt that a great benefit will accrue to the classes which so especially need assistance in this particular. There is nothing which tends to deteriorate the condition of the lower classes in a moral sense more than the very unsuitable arrangements of their dwelling houses. The subject has been constantly brought before the public, and in various forms have we had the painful topic presented to us. In speeches, lectures, reports, meetings, and com mittees the question has been broached in all its sad details and startling revelations, but all this outcry does not remove the evil it expatiates upon, nor does the language of complaint at all improve the deplorable condition of the inmates of these wretched abodes. The best way to put an effectual stop to any grievance is to set to work vigorously to alter and amend. This cannot be done by changing the old so well as by fuenishing a new style and state of things. It is thus that this society is a welcome subject, and although it has not long been established it has commenced under good auspices, and it may be said that it has entered upon its labours with a very flattering augury of success. There are many advantages that will accrue from the establishment of a society like the present one, and beneficial effects will follow in the train of their endeavours. If it is once seen that proper dwellings are the order of the day, the holders of the disgraceful tenements that now shock those who enter them will be gradually shamed out of them, and at ail events those who are too har dened to be affeated by the example of others will not have the opportunity of monopolising the mar ket as they have at present. It is high time that some of the arrangements regarding the dwellings. of the working classes should be made by a class of men superior to the influences which prevail among those who have hitherto held the sway of them, as it. were, and it is not merely the fair seeming prospect of a change which bids us hope and expect better things to result from the change thus promised, though it may ba but a trivial thing to look at now. All lasting and solid benefits were done slowly and surely, and not in a hurry and excitement. The difficulty in this instance is to steer clear between the extremes of theoretical precision and practical experiment, and the association here referred to ap pears so far to have avoided this danger, and to have made the outset of their arduous endeavours in a spirit that deserves success, and is worthy of the elevated and excellent object which is its aim. THE WILL OF THE LATE KING OF BAVARIA. —A Munich journal states that the private property of the late King is valued at 4,000,000 gulden, and that his Majesty's will specifies that the whole of this property shall be devoted towards those beneficent objects, calcu lated to promote the common good, which dui ing the life of the King formed his chief care. One million will be de voted to t►:e completion, establishment, and endowment of the Maximilian Orphan Institute for the children of ser vants of the State; a similar sum will bo devoted towards the Maximilianeum in like proportions ; and, finally, a sufficient sum will be invested in order that the scientific undertakings —and especially those relating to history— which were set on foot by his Majesty may be carried out, and that the pensions conferred by him on certaia artiste, poets, and learned men may be continued. By a codicil to the will his Majesty orders that a mausoleum shall be erected for himself and his consort behind the Theatin Church, in such a manner that it can be approached from the church and also from without. The plan of this struc tdre and the order for the payment of the cost are attached to the will. The tomb will be similar to that of Frederic William 111. of Prussia and queen Louise at Chariot tenburg. A capital puff of an illus!rated journal is given in an engraving in the paper this week which repre. sents the entire boulevard before the office blocked up, the circulation of the carliages suspended, and the crowd crush. ing forward to the window in an intense state of excite ment, and even fighting, in order to get—a number of the paper.

Sir Peter Teazle was represented by Mr. Chippendale, Sir Benjamin Backbite by Mr. Buck stone, Charles Surface by Mr. Farren, Joseph Surface by Mr. Howe, and Crabtree by Mr. Compton, in the spirit of genuine comedy—the rest of the characters were respect ably portrayed. Tho farce of 4 ( Lend Me Five Shillings," in which !4r. Bupkstone is unequalled for riotous, over diwing humour, forms an agreeable addition to the comedy. FRENCH LITERATURE. Monsieur Bourgeois gave the sees nd lecture Of 1 his present course on Friday, the 107 h lest., at tt Ladies' College, Kensington-square. Having in his former lecture treated of the first period of La. Fon taine's literary career, which terminated with the disgrace of Fouquet, M. Bourgeois now passed in review the second period. He to'd of his friend ship with Racine, Boileau, end Moliere ; how the four friends were in the habit of meeting three or four times a week at Boileau's house, and of the influence this connection had both on his literary and moral character. A great deal has been said about La Fontaine's eccentricities, and M. Bourgeois related several anecdotes exemplifying these pecu liarities, at the same time that they served as an analysis of his character. La Fontaine was not happy, or would not content himself in his own home. He lived at Paris : his wife lived at Chateau- Thierry. His courtly friends who frequented the Chateau de Veux thought little of such trifles, but in compliance with the representations of Racine and his new friends he resolved to visit his wife, and put his domestic relations on a more respectable footing. He accordingly left Paris for Chateau hierry, and when he arrived there went direct to the house of his wife. The servant, who did not know him, replied to his inquiries that Madame La Fontaine was gone to churcn, and would not return for some time. La Fontaine adjourned to the house of a friend, spent the evening there, forgot the object of his mission, and returned next day to Paris. His friends eagerly asked atter his wife. "I have not seen her," replied La Fontaine," she was at church." Though successful authorship i❑ those days achieved celebrity,it did not entail pecu niary gain. La Fontaine was so far from being in affluence, that his friends were glad to procure him an appointment in the household of the Dowager Duchess of Orleans. This lady died soon after, when Madame de la Sabliere, so celebrated for her beauty and her wit, invited La Fontaine to take up his abode in her house. Here he lived for twenty years, and it was: during this period that he composed his fables, which he had been asked to write kr the use of the Dauphin. La Fontaine achieved his highest fame as a fabulist —a word which before his time did not exist in the French language. Monsieur Bourgeois analysed several of these fables, and pointed out with great critical acumen their literary beauties, and the dramatic art displayed ia their composltien. To La Fontaine's eyes the realm of the lower animals exhibited the same passions that he found brought into action amongst . men, and under the guise of an apologue he censured the vices and ridiculed the follies of his own species. "La Fontaine," said Monsieur Bourgeon, "caught, so to speak, the moral physiognomy of the lower animate, unveiling those links of connection so humbling to our pride, which exist between them and us. Mid was a power in wnich La Fontaine stood unrivalled until the present day, when the pencil of L indseer has done for dumb animals what the pen of La Fontaine had already achieved. So closely akin is the excellence displayed by these two great men that we may de scribe Landseer as the La Fontaine of painting, and La Fontaine as the Landseer of poetry. To the brief sketch which our prescribed space allows us to give of tla 4 s lecture, we shall only add that Monsieur Bourgeois is another proof of how moral courage and perseverance cAn triumph over physical diffi culties, and he is at the same time an evidence of the Divine goodness, that makes compensation for imposed privations. M. Bourgeois is blind, but he is gifted with a prodigious memory, and delivered without pause or hesitation a lecture of two hours' length, replete with information, aided merely by some notes, taken in what the French call ecriture en pointe, and which he deciphers by the sense of touch. . The IMPERIAL PRINCE has been made a sergeant of the first Regiment of Grenadiers. BATTERSEA PARK AND CHELSEA HOSPITAL GROUNDS.— Ile public money expended in the purchase and formation of Battersea Park amounts, accord ing tea Parliamentary return, to £15,008 9a. 3d. This charge was defrayed from balances of former grants of Par liament, and receipts derived from rents, interest on par chase-mtney, and sales of old materials. Respecting Chel sea Hospital grounds, £4,158 of the original Parliamentary vote of £1,426 4s. has been expended. THE CASE OF PIRACY BY CONFEDERATES.—At the Liverpool Police-office on Saturday, before Mr. Raffles, Warren Quincey, alias Wilson, George M'Murdock, alias Kelly, and John Taverner, alias Clements, the three men charged with having piratically seized the American schooner Joseph L. Gerity, in November last, whilst on a voyage from Matamoras for INt - ov York, were again brought up. The case was first before the court on the 24th February. Evidence was then gone into, and the case was remanded, and twice again urnande3 on two sub sequent occasions. Mr. Squarey, as the representative of the United States Government, asked tne mag;strates to put in force the provisions of an act of Parliaroent founded on a treaty between this country and the United States by committing the man to prison. It would then become necessary for the American Government to apply to one of the Secretaries of State that they might he sent to America. Mr. Raffles still thought it a case of piracy, but in a grave case of that kind, wnich might be followed by serious consequences to those men, he did not like the responsibility of giving a decision without obtaining the opinion of the highest court of justice. For that reason he had made up his mind to remand the prisoners, so as to give them an opportunity, if they saw fit, of applying to a full court in London. He would remand thH case for seven days, and should than adjourn it sine die. That would give the men an oppor unity of having the opinion of a superior court, and if it was against them they would be committed. The prisoners were then put down, the case being remanded for a week. THE RECENT ESCAPE FROM THE WAKEFIELD HOUSE OF CORRECTION.—We recently gave an ac count of the escape, on the evening of the 2d of March, of a female convict, named Mary Ellen Renshaw, from the Wakefield House of Correction. On March 7, Renshaw was captured at Leeds, and on Friday, at the House of Correction, Wakefield, Mary Ann Abson, late a matron at the prison, was charged with aiding her in her escape. Mary Ellen Renshaw was the first witness. She said that in No vember she asked Abson about a scarf shawl that had been taken from the hospital, and said that it was hers, though it was not ; and Abson said that she had taken it, but she (Renshaw) was not to say anything about it. After that Abson brought her bacon, tea, sugar, and cheese, and used to let her out of the cell at night. The matron suggested an escape to her, and at last ahe (Renshaw) urged her to let her out, but Abson fond she dared not. Renshaw said that Abson had done worse things. Ultimately, Abson promised to let her out; and, on the day of her Escape, Renshaw gave Abson a gold ding, and promised to give her some money when she got ow:, Abson brought her a crinoline, a silk dress, a plaided scan shawl, and a pair of boots and a bonnet, and let her out of the cell, took her into the matron's room to look at herself in the glass, and went with her a few yards towards the gate. Sho also told her that if the gatekeeper hesitated to let he , r out she was to tell him to go down to Mr, Ulyatt's, the deputy governor. Mr. Shepherd, the governor at the prison, said that on February 9 he gave the prisoner, who was night watchwoinan, notice to leave on the 4th March, and hor last night of dw y was the 3d March. She wished to stay as day matron, but he told her she was inefficient John Hudson, night porter, said that about half-past eight on the night of the 2d instant he allowed a woman who was wearing a plum-coloured dress, bonnet, &c., to pass out He took her for a visitor. Evidence in corroboration of Renshaw's statement was given by several persons, and then, after an address from Mr. Barratt, who said there was. not corroboration sufficient, the prisoner iv as committed fur trial at the Pontefract sessions, but admitted to bail. HORRID MURDER.—On Tuesday afternoon a lad, about 12 years of age, named James Paton, was found lying on the Stirling and Allea road near Tullibody-bridge, frightfully wounded and speechless, and next day he ex pired of his injuries, which had clearly been the result of personal violence committed upon him. Thomas Arnot, a surfaceman employed on the road, was apprehended on Wednesday evening, and lodged in Alloa prison, charged with the outrage. On being examined bele:o the Sheriff he made a full acknowledgment of his guilt. llia statement is that he was at work on the road, repairing the footpath and cleaning the run channel, when the boy came up leading a horse by the head, and brought his cart over the place which he had just finished. Arnot felt so enraged at this that, without speaking a word, he raised the shovel which was in his hand, and knocked the boy down with a blow on the back from it. He then with the edge of the sh 'Neel struck him two or three times on the head as he lay, and leaving him lying on the roadside, gathered up his tools and went home. Arnot says he has ao rJcellectien of having seen the boy before, but adds that ho was so enraged at the time that if the boy had been a giant he believes he would have served him in the same way. The prisoner, who is said to be eccentric, if not embecile, and who was usually thought an inoffensive person, told his wife and others all about the affair wenn he went home, expressing some remorse of con science for the deed. On being apprehended he quoted to the °fillers the proverb th tt thos. , who r--re born to be hanged would never be brows—d." Ho is a native of Per; shire, and is 56 years of tie, and has three daughters . Mown up, Adelphi Theatre, Mr. Watts Phillips's celebrated drama, "The Dead Heart," has been revived for five nights only, Mr. Benjamin Webster, to the great delight of a very crowded and fashion able audience, sustaining the part of Robert Landry. The part is one familiar to nearly every playgoer, and on the preser t occasion it is but necessary to say that it was repeated with, if possible, more than usual intensity. The representation of the part of Robert Landry by Mr. Webster is sure to become impressed on the memory, because we know of none in which such intense study is apparent. The most minute details are worked out with the utmost finish, and there is a breadth and boldness in the whole performance that stamps it as a work of the highest art. The reception of Mr. Webster was enthusiastic, and it is to be regretted that at the end of the week he will make his last appearance for au indt finite period, as the sensa'ional drama "Leah" is to be reproduced on F e aster Monday, with new scenery, dresses, and decorations. Mr. Bouoicault has just finished a new Irish drama, entitled "The Rapparee." Mr. Sothern will shortly appear at the Hay , market as David Garrick in a new three act comedy. ST. JAMES'S HALL.—Mr. Walter Montgomery appeared last night as a reader. The large hall was toler ably well filled by an attentive auditory ; and Mr. Mont gomery recited familiar passages from Shakspere, and dra matically delivered some of the most popular poems by Hood, Edgar Poe, Mlcaulay, and Ingoldaby. The dramatic recitals included the interview between Hubert and Arthur in "King John," the churchyard scene in "Hamlet," and the conversion of Benedick in "Much Ado About No thing," and in each he evinced the ability which was to be expected from an experienced actor. WESTON's " RETREAT."—Yesterday, before the licensing magistrates et St. Pancras, Mr. Weston applied for a license for his " Retreat," which was opposed. Lord Dartmouth hag, signed against it. The bench refused the license. AN UNFORTUNATE VOYAGE.—A brig named the Lady Alicia, Copland, which hails from Leith, and is partly owned in Montrose, left Aberdeen on the 23d of November last, with a cargo of machinery for Mauritius, but, having experienced very heavy weather from S. to S.S.E., put into Longhope on the 27th, with cargo shifted, where it was secured as well as could bo done. She left Longhope again, but experienced heavy gales from S.W. to N.W , and was driven back to Longhope twice with cargo shifted, causing great danger to the ship. She left finally on January 27. On the 29th it commenced to blow very hard, accompanied with hailstones, thunder and light ning, from S.W. to N.W., a perfect hurricane, and the ship made water dreadfully, filling the decks from rail to rail. The man had to be taken from the helm, through fear of being washed overboard, and all hands remained in the cabin for five days, expecting nothing but that the ship would founder. She was eventually towed into Greenock on the 10th inst., to discharge cargo and repair—covering boards, stanchions, waterways, and decks being all started, and a portion of hal warks gone, stern much shaken, and leaking very much from above.—elfontrose Standard, THE SHEFFIELD INUNDATION. — The subscrip tions towards the relief of the distressed now amount to more than £20,000. A meeting of working men is to be held at Sheffield to-day, with a view to establish a working men's fund, to be raised out of the appropriation of a day's wages. The sixpenny subscription boxes, placed in some of the principal streets of Manchester, on. Saturday, produced £lO 12s. ANOTIILI: VICTIBI TO CEINOLINE.—On S xtur. day afternoon ,Another of these shocking bccidents from fire took place, resulting iu the death of a fine young woman, named Charlotte Trotman, aged 19. The deceased was living with her brother, a newsvendor, in the neigh bourhood of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and whilst occu pied in some work about the room her crinoline came in con tact with the bars of the grate, and the draught drew her dress between them, setting fire to it. The poor girl was immediately enveloped in filmes, and it was some few se conds before the fire could be extinguished. She was in stantly conveyed to the hospital, when her burns were dressed, but she was so seriously injured that she died very 2110tly aster admigeior. Mtartpxs. 4 'Lint om tirghlr, HER MAJESTY.
